Hi, I wrote a patcher for linux, and you guys can use the code and just change the patterns. thanks to everyone for writing the offsets and hex patterns, https://github.com/socialfright/subzero, Thanks, I will make one for all OS's but I just wanted to send a proof of concept.

Don't know how to check it.

I made clean install of sublime, then followed steps from script. At the end put some license key to activate it.

All crack methods here are implemented by @leogx9r. Currently, many rules are starting to fail.

which script? Do you mean the script of @maboloshi for 4146?
Is it works for 4147? I will have a try.

Unfortunately no. My patcher just did some simple string (or bytes, whatever) replacements. Someone may compare binaries to find out what have been modified though.

I assume the above patch is for MacOS running on Intel CPUs and not on ARM. Is there any patch for Apple Sillicon?

Currently, there are no patches available for Apple Sillicon.😢

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

@bms8197 you can hide the nag to registration by patching 14 to 94 at offset 0x0105DB9D. It's almost the same as having a license.

@bms8197 for ST4148 you can hide the nag by patching at 0x01065B8D. Change 1 bit from 14 to 94, and you won't see it for 3 days.

Here is my new updated patch for win64 and linux64 to the latest ST 4148 and SM 2083: slp_2023_03_18.rar

Signature sha-256: bd131ee657cfe2e87c65bfda03f0e158a4b8a9862068cf3ffd8e8094e9526a84

Is there Sublime Merge 2083 crack for Mac soon?

@hellzerg Just run in Admin mode. If your sublime text and/or sublime merge is in the default location, it will detect... else you have to specify the location.... then click patch...

@monglung I am able to patch ST4143 with your app, but something bugs out with SM2083. When entering a licence, it refuses to proceed when you cleck the "Use Licence" button, such that that particular button seems like it is disabled.

@monglung

@rjbprime Yes, the patch not working for SM2083.... You cannot enter a License... I also test on the new SM2085... same thing happens...

Hope someone else can figure out and have a new method to patch... In the mean time, I guess we have to use the older one then...
